dask8er144 has joined this chat.
hook it up
how's everyone doing
do we need to know the difference between coopererative, competitive, and creative federalism?
i like the pink elbaum
it's the new black
elbs, can u like steel the frq prompts and tell us what they are
steal*
wish I could
any predictions for the frq?
what do you need to know about legislative powers of bureaucratic agencies?
i was at barns and noble today and there was this huge book opn Polk
8:00 PM
i bought it and read it
legislative powers of Bure...
yeah
for an frq
the FCC makes policy on what words you can and cant say
on tv
so an executive agnecy is given legislative powers
and judicial powers
because they fine tv stations if they violate
like the FCC fined FOX for the janet jackson super bowl incident
got it
wut a ho
so they get judicial and legislative powers
yes
whats judicial federalism
bureaucracy---think like shs
very big, many levels, hard to know who is to blame, can do many things
are very expensive
(thats why you couldn't go to ur conference right elbaum)
right
what about social security
and entitlement programs

y r u crying?
entitlement programs are federally funded programs guarenteed to go to certain groups from the budget every year
they make up MOST of the federal budget
social security is the biggest
medicare, medicaid
welfare
can someone explain plurality
welfare is hared between states and fed. right?
right
k
plurality is simply getting more votes than the next guy
hisham i told u that!
aite
i don't believe u
majority is 50 percent plus 1
okay, and we have just plurality
need a plurality to win a sate
8:05 PM
majority of electoral votes to win the election
can u explain cannot vs do not voters again
cannot---under 18, felons in some states, non citizens, ppl who dont register
do not---minorities, poor, renters, low education, non religious
what kind of primaries force straight ticket voting
closed
ok
im going to change my icon
to polk?
who is that
Anyone know?
who polk or the icon
larry david
the icon's jfk
yes larry david
who is larry david
seinfeld creator
stanley from the office?
yes..any other questions
also curb your enthusiasm creator /star
whats the difference between the pres pro tempore and the Vp with regards to the power over the senate
vp is the president of the senate
period
when the vp is gone, prez pro temp steps in at prez of the senate
do we need to know who they are
liek who the pro tempore is
prez pro temp is usually the member in the majority party with most seniority
no you dont need names
do we need to know supreme court justices and who appointed them
8:10 PM
but the prez pro temp is robert byrd
former clansmen
nope no SCOTUS names
hahahah
are u serious
yea
wait what is appelate mean
about the clansman...
from west va
like appealte jurisdiction
that means when the court gets their case from a lower court
do we need to know the diffeent types of federalism liek competitive and cooperative and the creative
so the SC has appealate and original juriscdiction
original means
it is created liek in that court
hard to predict if you'll need different kinds of federalism
original means when a court is the first to hear a case
so lower courts only have original
k got it
can u explain them
cooperative when local state and ntl work togther to solve problems rather than make different policies
dual is when the state and federal are completely supreme
autonomous
anyone got the cubs game on?
yes
duh its me
any other questions
im actually watching star wars episode III
you all know that there is a review tonight 9-11pm on am 560
yeh
what is it going over
8:15 PM
r u gonna listen elbaum
the review
I'm going to call in
haha
nicce
is it a national broadcast?
I'm not sure
ok
what would u say study the most
on
do you guys know the CLAUSES of teh 14th amendment
due process?
no
due process
equal protection?
equal protection
wait can u go over all the important amendments
rsharu109 has joined this chat.
1 amendment
that has establishment/free excercise?
makes sure you know free exercise vs. free establshment
free excercise means no established religion right
2nd---riht to bear arms, not selectively incorporated
i mean estalbismhemt sorry
will it be you think?
4th--privacy even though teh word was never mentioned
depends if obama/hrc or Mac wins
Mac puts 2 conservative ont he court to replace JPS and Gins
then the court leans to the right for a LOOOOONG time
that'll be brutal
wait i thought they can stay on for life
8:20 PM
how old his gins that shes down for the count
ginzburgs got some life left in her
speaking of 4th, that is a great time to ask about judicial activism vs. strict constructionism
strict is when it liek intereprests the constutituon strictly word for word right
activism- using the bench to push an agenda or influence public policy, strict - literal constitution, CT money style, and its just silly
yup
right
"just silly"
do u think activism is immoral or unconstitutional
that's a thomas reference I assume
u know it
ct money
do we need to knwo the SALT treaty
Well, the original argument makes sense...if you want abortion to be universal then PASS A LAW...conressman are democratically elected vs. justices who never face voters
and the START
no SALT treaty
ic
that's more APUSH
we never learned that?
what about the judiciary and public opinon
insulated because they never run for office
no term limits
lifetime appt
no insulated because can be impeached
get appointed by prez (elected)
confirmed by senate (elected)
can't their salaries not be reduced too (as a point for insulation)?
right
good memory
8:25 PM
but they want to have a good image right
legacy
yes but there are stronger reasons for lack of insulation
do they really care that much about legacy
hard to tell
these frqs that you'll see tomorrow were written 4 years ago
last year they asked about grants vs. mandates vs categorical
are u proctoring
No
so they wont ask about that this year
really? why are they written so long ago
what else did they ask about last year
I'll expect a great slow clap right before the test
ha
they asked about some court cases
omg i forgot about the court cases
what are the important ones
mapp v. ohio
lalapgovernment.blogspot.com
ellis
thank you
what should we look over for the FRQ's or is there nothing really we can do
well, think big picture questions that you can support with specifics
like, why is the Senate the upper house and House the lower
or something
haha um why
but it's impossible to predict
senate is national
house is liek local issues?
like tax issues
Think cup and saucer
Senate cools legislation or action
8:30 PM
house impeaches, senate actually puts prez on trial
think requirements---senate gotta be 30
and house has to impress public right
serve 6 years
right
only serve 2 years
always facing the people
wait senate is the cup? and house is saucer
vice versa
ohh
k
senate cools the house
kk
are there formal requirments to be a federal judge?
whats the standing committee do
no
k
well lawyer...
standing committees are specialized groups in congress
that's most action occurs
dont most bills die there
yes
its called getting pigeonholed
so a frosh senator who is a former farmer will get put on the ag committee
what are the age requirements for senate n house?
30 senate
25 house
k thanks!
yup
9 year residency in house
i mean 7
9 for senate
when did the vp get added to the ballot, and the runner up stopped being hte vp?
8:35 PM
what's a split ticket?
whats preferred position
12th amendment
split ticket is when you vote for some dems and some reps
gotcha!
thanks
pref position is when rights are being considered byt eh SCOTUS, they give the first amendemt priority
they always try to uphold it over orthers
bayle wants u to reinvite her
she got kicked out
whats the diff b.w PAC's intrest groups and lobbyist
do we need to know all the stuff about foreign policy?
jay, 12th amendment requires electors to cast one vote for prez and one for VP
so guy who comes in 2nd isnt VP like it used to be
got it , thanks
so can electors vote for non running mates?

hey elbaum! i'm getting really nervous for this test! less than 24 hours away!
not really because POTUS candidates run with VP so the vote is one in the same
almost D-day!
what is appelate jurisdiction?
8:40 PM
i was using the review packet and it mentioned it but i am blanking out on what it is
QtLS11 has left this chat.
app jurisdiction means when a court hears a case from a lower court
like when it makes its way up the ranks
from something like a district court?
gotcha. thanks!
right
jgarv11 has joined this chat.
whats the diff b.w PAC's intrest groups and lobbyist
elbaaaaauuuummmmmmm
and also, in terms of mapp v. ohio, was that the one regarding breaking into her home for one thing and then arresting her for another? does that fall under a privacy issue?
PACS try to elect people
interrest groups rtry to influence legislation
mapp v ohio is eclusionary rule
and lobbyists?
which means that any evidence obtained illegally cant be used against you
lobbyist tries to influence legislation
ok, thanks. so the privacy issue would go more towards roe v. wade?
i was working on a practice frq
and griswold
and griz
right
griswold was the fist privacy case
over birth control
8:45 PM
oh, u mean the one i missed on my circle of death- escuse me, destiny- question. lol

elbaum do you have any idea how the grading rubric was from any of the practice tests in the review packet?
what do you mean

from either of the practice tests
